eFootball PES 2020 ushers in a new decade of industry-leading football simulation with a bold promise to revolutionise eFootball and introduce the sport to a global audience. The game features an all-new mode called Matchday that will allow fans to come together for weekly events to compete in the biggest matches and secure victory against their rivals.
Konami announced the #StayHomeWithPES Tournament pitting some of biggest names in football against each other in eFootball PES 2020, including FC Barcelona striker Antoine Griezmann and Juventus’ Miralem Pjanić.
Stars from 11 world-famous clubs will compete in the tournament, which will be broadcast on the official eFootball PES YouTube channel on Sunday April 26 from 17:00 BST / 18:00 CEST.
“I’m a huge PES fan,” said Miralem Pjanić. “I’m excited to be part of this tournament and play the game on such a stage. It’s going to be a lot of fun. For me anyway.”
Pjanić’s first match will be in the Quarter Finals against the winner of the bout between Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard and FC Schalke’s Nassim Boujellab. Also competing in the Quarter Finals will be Inter’s rising star, Sebastiano Esposito with his first match against Scott McTominay, Manchester United’s talented midfielder.
“I can’t wait to put my PES skills to the test against some of my favourite players,” said Scott McTominay. “I’ve got my eyes on a final against Antoine Griezmann. He might be a World Cup winner, but he won’t be ready for me!”
